Hi... I've been following strict gluten-free diet and no dairy, no soy (as per kindly suggested by community). The suggestions I have received have been very helpful. I find myself feeling afraid to eat anything outside of the coconut milk, and I add fruit (which I freeze) and blend into shakes. That is a mainstay meal. I tried a sweet potato and became...

WELUVGATORS Thank you for the kind welcome! I have had many allergies from a young age. Does complicate things. Though knowing the gluten sure helps with this puzzle tremendously. Thank you greatly for the antihistamine suggestion. While I am allergic (of course) lol to Zyrtec itself, I'm sure there is another (like Allegra) I might explore. I found it mind...

Good afternoon, I wondered if anyone might know of an over the counter product that is gluten-free that might be soothing to the stomach/intestine that I am not aware of... I have tried most products and find I react to almost every type and every brand. Hoping maybe someone might have already been down this road before. Thanks

Thank you for the feedback everyone. I have three grown daughters one of which is married. All have lactose intolerance as I do so I am hopeful that soy is going to remain a positive (I sure need the calcium). You can assume I have had this a very long time. I guess I am a bit in shock so to speak. I feel incredibly lucky too. Thankful to still be here...

Thank you Peter, it is nice to be here, and thank you for your quick and kind response. I was diagnosed one week ago, but have pretty much known for the three weeks since that major reaction. That surely is a long time to heal, although I am greatly relieved that I can... considering how long I've gone without being diagnosed. The information you provided...

Hi... Newly found to be Celiac probably since very young age. Was on thyroid meds at 10. Allergy to multivitamin at 10 (hives)... severe allergies. Gluten being one. Dr.'s. thought text book case, couldn't figure it out. Finally severe reaction to food very recent (3 weeks ago) diagnosis made. Now it's very clear minute amounts of gluten are triggering...
